PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Your Board of Directors, with Executive Director Dr. Roy
L. Goss, recently met at the Western Washington Research and
Extension Center to make preparations for the Annual Conference to be held, this year, at Kah-Nee-Ta, on the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation, near Madras, Oregon. We hope
to have an excellent program of interest to all of our members.
We look forward to your attending with us on the dates of
September 19 through September 22. Please make your plans
to attend this educational event.
And while mentioning members, our Secretary has informed us that a number of you have neglected to send in your dues
for 1983. It is only by your continued support of our organization that we can continue with ongoing research projects which
will benefit all those involved with turf use and maintenance
in the Pacific Northwest. We would particularly encourage your
donations, however much they might be, to assist us with important research projects. We will be in contact with those of
you who may have forgotten to send in your dues to hopefully
persuade you to continue to labor with us.
Our membership represents a variety of turf interests. Many
school districts, municipal park districts, sod growers, seed
growers and seed processors, firms dealing in turf products,
many individuals, golf courses, and others who may grow and
maintain turfed areas, all are welcome as members and are invited to participate in our Field Days and our educational
meetings and conferences. We may not have the solution to
every problem, but we can certainly keep you up-to-date on what
is going on in the Turf world. If you are already a member,
pass the word along and help us gain new members. We want
to be of service to all of you.

By Dr. Roy L. Goss
After a long fall and winter of hard use and abuse, all sports
fields require a number of maintenance practices to maintain
high quality natural grass fields. In order to maintain the highest
quality we can never ease up on all of the practices that promote good drainage, dense turf cover to resist compaction and
to maintain smooth even surfaces.
THATCH REMOVAL
You may not feel that any significant level of thatch has accumulated on your sports field. However, extensive trampling
by both flat soles and cleated shoes have punched into the surface or compressed a significant amount of dead organic
material. It is extremely important that this be removed at least
annually to prevent excessive build-ups in the surface. Excessive
accumulation of organic debris can result in surface sealing,
especially on sand fields, but just as seriously on natural soil
fields and must be removed to allow rapid infiltration rates of
water. These organic mats significantly increase the water
holding capacity of the immediate surface as well as impeding
rapid infiltration into the soil. This can result in rapid loss of
the field under next year's play. This material should be removed
with power rakes or specially built verticut machines or
hammer—knife type mowers equipped with straight flails to
remove as much as possible.
AERIFICATION
All heavily used fields should be thoroughly aerified prior
to any overseeding operations. This can be done immediately
following thatch removal. Aerification will help to eliminate
surface compaction to a depth of 2-3 inches and will, likewise,
enhance water infiltration rates. Aerifiers that punch holes every
4-6 inches are adequate for the job provided that the field is
double, triple or even quadruple aerified in the spring. Subsequent to the overseeding and the establishment of the new grass
in worn areas, aerification should be practiced 3 or 4 additional
times before next fall. It isn't necessary to remove the soil cores.
They can be broken up by dragging or by flailing and the grass
tufts can be removed by sweeping after the soil has been knocked
from the cores.
RESEEDING
All heavy wear areas should be liberally overseeded for the
re-establishment of a dense stand of grass. A dense stand of
grass is your major protection against excessive soil compaction. If large areas have become bare, you may overseed with
a 50:50 mixture of turftype perennial ryegrasses and improved
Kentucky bluegrass and seed at the rate of 4 lb per 1000 sq.
ft. Kentucky bluegrasses are poor competitors if stand density
had not been significantly reduced but may be somewhat thin.
Therefore, overseeding with turftype perennial ryegrass alone
will generally give better results. It would be advisable to topdress the reseeded areas with approximately 3/16 inch of
medium fine sand to hasten germination and establishment.
Remember that it is extremely important to keep the surface
continually moist during the germination procedure after which
the frequency of water can be reduced to normal management
practices.

IN REMEMBRANCE OF
WILFRED BRUSSEAU

IN REMEMBRANCE
OF LOUIS SCHMIDT

Wilfred Brusseau was born April 23, 1897, at Brainerd,
Minnesota. He passed away at the Veteran's Administration
Hospital in Spokane, Washington, on December 29, 1982.

Funeral services were conducted for Louis Schmidt at St.
Jude's Catholic Church in Redmond, Washington on March 30,
1983. Louie was born May 11, 1912 and died on March 26,
1983 in Seattle, Washington. Louie's surviving immediate family include his wife, Flora, who resides in Redmond, two sons,
Dick and Ray, and two daughters, Eleanor and Judy.
Louie spent 42 years providing tender loving care to golf
courses throughout his career and was superintendent of three
of the Pacific Northwest's finest golf courses. He started his
career as a golf course superintendent at Indian Canyon in 1941
and retired from that course and the Spokane Parks Department
in 1965. Prior to 1941 he had worked under Bill Sutherton who
was superintendent at Spokane Golf and Country Club.
Although Louie retired in 1965, the golf course was still in
his blood so he took over as superintendent of Inglewood in
1965 and stayed there until 1968. The founders of Sahalee Golf
and Country Club were highly impressed with Louie's
background and ability, and hired him to supervise the construction and subsequent maintenance of Sahalee Golf and Country Club. Louie maintained Sahalee in excellent condition until
1977 when he retired the second time. Louie decided that after
42 years that was about enough and he wanted to spend some
leisure time doing the things he hadn't had time to do before.
This included some travel with Flora and a host of other enjoyable activities.
Louie Schmidt was one of the five original golf course
superintendents who formed the Northwest Turfgrass Association. Besides Louie, there were Bill Sutherton, Wilfred
Brusseau, Glen Proctor and John Harrison. Louie always encouraged research and education through the Northwest Turfgrass Association and was a strong supporter of research and
extension programs throughout the Pacific Northwest. Louie
was justifiably awarded a lifetime honorary membership in the
Northwest Turfgrass Association when he retired in 1977.
Louie was always a gentleman and freely gave his friendship
and advice to young people on the way up. Not only did his
two sons, Dick and Ray, follow in his footsteps, but a good
number of our golf superintendents today trained under Louie
Schmidt.
Louie was an excellent golfer and few, if any, of his friends
and associates could ever take a dime off him on the golf course.
We will all miss Louie but it is gratifying to look back on the
contributions that he made to the advancement of turfgrass
management and better golfing conditions for everyone's
pleasure.

Wilfred met his wife Rosa in 1918 while in the U.S. Army
Infantry Medical Corp. They were married in Spokane and
spent a lifetime together in Spokane. They had three sons, all of
whom served in World War II.
Wilfred is survived by his wife Rosa at the home, two sons,
Lloyd and Roy, both of Priest River, Idaho, a sister, Alma Bell,
of McMinnville, Oregon, and five grandchildren, several
nephews and nieces and great grandchildren.
Wilfred worked as golf course superintendent for over 20
years at the Down River Spokane Municipal Golf Course from
which he retired some 20 years ago.
In the late 1940's Wilfred Brusseau, Johnny Harrison, Glen
Proctor and Louis Schmidt, all golf course superintendents in
the Spokane and Hay den Lake, Idaho area enlisted the aid of
A1 Law and Dean of the College of Agriculture Schafer in
organizing the present Northwest Turfgrass Association. As a
tribute to Wilfred Brusseau, he is pictured above with the initial group who started our Turfgrass Association.
Wilfred Brusseau strongly supported the Inland Empire
Association of Golf Course Superintendents and the Northwest
Turfgrass Association through his active years, and was awarded
life-time memberships in both the Inland Empire Association
of Golf Course Superintendents at the Northwest Turfgrass
Association.

FERTILIZATION PROGRAMS
Fertilization programs will vary somewhat with respect to soil
texture. Sand fields require smaller but more frequent applications of fertilizer whereas those built on native soils can withstand longer periods but heavier applications when applied. In
general, good quality grass sports fields should receive
approximately 3/4 lb of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft per growing
month. This would equate to 6-8 lb of nitrogen per 1000 sq ft
in western Washington and 4-6 lb per 1000 sq ft in eastern
Washington. We must also employ some common sense in our
fertilization programs. If the grass is green and growing and
has adequate density, delay fertilization until the first signs of
some color decrease before adding additional fertilizer. Our
goals should be to maintain minimum fertility levels while not
sacrificing density and quality.
Sand fields will require a complete spectrum of plant nutrients.
In general, fertilizers supplying nutrients in a 6-1-4 or 3-1-2
ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium supplying the
amounts of nitrogen indicated above will produce high quality
fields. It is important to maintain adequate levels of trace
minerals or micronutrients on sand fields as well. In general,
one or two light applications of trace minerals will suffice. It
is important also to maintain at least 3 lbs of elemental sulfur
per 1000 sq ft from all fertilizer sources on sand fields. Natural
soil fields can usually get by on one-half to two-thirds this
amount.
Calcium and magnesium can be supplied from dolomitic
limestone and when soil tests indicate a need for magnesium,
then dolomite would be the best choice. On established fields
do not apply any sort of lime at rates exceeding 40-50 lb per
1000 sq ft.

COMPENDIUM OF
TURFGRASS DISEASES
Dr. Richard W. Smiley, Cornell University, Ithaca, New
York, has published a new turfgrass disease book entitled, Compendium of Turfgrass Diseases. This book is authoritative,
easy to understand and comprehensive. It is fully illustrated with
185 color plates and more than 65 illustrations including drawings depicting the life cycle for 14 of the most troublesome infectious pathogens found on turfgrasses. It is ideal for anyone
involved in the field of turfgrass management.
This book is available through APS Books, 3340 Pilot Knob
Road, St. Paul, Minnesota 55121. As of January 15, 1983, the
book was valued at $12, but may be somewhat different now.

NORTHWEST
TURFGRASS CONFERENCE
AT KAH-NEE-TA
September 20-22, 1983, are the dates for the 37th Northwest
Turfgrass Conference at Kah-Nee-Ta, Warm Springs Resort, at
Warm Springs, Oregon. This area is in the high desert plateau
region of north-centeral Oregon, slightly northwest of Madras,
which is the nearest larger town.
President Dick Malpass, Gary Sayre, and Ray McElhoe and
their wives recently spent a weekend there to scout the place
and check out facilities for conference. They came back with
a very favorable report, and that it would be a most enjoyable
and excellent site for an educational conference, as well as ample recreation. Facilities include 150 rooms at the main lodge
plus some cottages with 1 and 2 bedrooms and cooking facilities,
ample area for parking for R V's and tepee accommodations for
slightly lower rent. There are natural hot springs for restoring
your pizazz, libido, or whatever you want them to do, hiking
trails, bike trails, horseback riding, tennis courts, river rafting
and a beautiful, challenging 18-hole golf course. The Warm
Spring's Indians excel in their Indian-style cooked salmon and
Indian fry bread—all salmon lovers should find a gourmet's
delight.
The resort is holding the block of rooms until the end of
July, so it will be necessary to make your reservations early
to be assured of a room at the location. Remember, the nearest
town with other accommodations is some 30-40 miles distance.
Reservations, pre-registration and all information with regard
to rooms, etc., will be mailed to you in early July.
All committees are busily working on educational program,
ladies program, golf tournament competition and other activities
for the conference. We promise a very informative educational
session which will be held in the same format as we have been
practicing for the last few years. All sessions will begin by 8:30
a.m., and will run until 1 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday and
will terminate at Thursday noon.
All persons wishing to play golf or play in the golf tournament should be checked in by Sunday night, September 18 for
the golf tournament on Monday morning September 19. Conference registration will be going on during the afternoon of
the 19th and each morning thereafter.
We have had a guarantee of warm, sunny cloudless weather
and a pleasant stay for everyone.

INTRODUCING YOUR
NTA DIRECTORS
Jim Connolly was born April 25, 1956 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is married and he and his wife reside at North 5003
Madison, Spokane, Washington 99208. He can be reached by
phone at (509) 326-5002. Jim was elected to the Board of Directors at the 36th Northwest Turfgrass Conference at Yakima,
Washington, in September 1982.
Jim got his teeth into turfgrass management beginning in 1974
where he worked 4 years on the Washington State University
golf course and received training under various professors and
research workers in all aspects of golf course maintenance. He
trained as an assistant golf course superintendent while researching the field of turfgrass and landscape agriculture.
Jim served as assistant golf course superintendent at Yakima
Golf and Country Club from July 1978 to July 1979. While
assistant at Yakima Jim had the responsibility for supervision
of a 10-man crew and winter maintenance.
From July 1979 to July 1980 Jim was superintendent of the
18-hole McNary Golf Course at Umatilla, Oregon, and was
responsible for all phases of management. He became highly
i familiar with irrigation practices and personnel management.
From July 1980 to present Jim has been a sales representative
for Turfgo Northwest, and his duties include selling a large
line of turfgrass maintenance products, soil sampling and testing,
disease identification, developing fertilizer and fungicide programs for over 100 Northwest accounts. Jim's technical and
practical background should make him well qualified in this
area.
Director Connolly holds membership in the Golf Course
Superintendents Association of America, Inland Empire
Association of Golf Course Superintendents, Northwest Turfgrass Association, Spokane Hockey Association, Washington
State University College of Agriculture Alumni Association.
He also holds a Washington State Pesticide Consultant
license and a Washington Pesticide Applicator license.
Editor's note of caution: Sand baggers beware—Jim plays to
a 7 handicap on the golf course. Since Jim is from Pittsburgh
the editor neglected to learn if he is a master of the Pittsburgh
persimmon.

IRRIGATION PRACTICES
The turfgrass strength, density and durability of your fields
are significantly affected by irrigation practices. In general, one
to two irrigations per week are generally satisfactory on deep
sand profiled fields even during the hottest summer months,
provided the root zone is thoroughly moistened with each application. Without a doubt, natural soil fields with adequate
rooting profile can get by one week and possible more without
irrigation. This should not be a hit-or-miss program. You should
use a soil probe regularly to determine the remaining soil
moisture and use this as a judgment for irrigation. Placing the
turfgrass plants under slight stress from time to time will help
stimulate a deep and well developed rooting system. Excessive
water will definitely reduce the root system.
MOWING
Regular mowing at a uniform year around height will enhance
turfgrass quality. All sports fields should be mowed twice weekly. Clipping removal is optional, but there will be times with
weekly mowing that some clippings may have to be removed.
Clippings from well nourished fields will recycle significant
amounts of fertilizer back to the grass plants and reduce fertilizer requirements. You may wish to remove the clippings for
aesthetic purposes.
In general, the foregoing discussion, for the most part, is well
adapted to the repair and maintenance of almost any turfgrass
area whether it be on apron approaches and tees on golf courses
or in parks. You must modify certain treatments to conform to
the use of the turfgrass area but the basic requirements are near
the same. Sand topdressing on a light, frequent basis will
significantly improve inferior quality or maintain high quality.
Aprons and tees on golf courses can be significantly improved
through increased topdressing programs. A few golf courses
in North America are even practicing sand topdressing on entire fairways. It is your responsibility to bite off as much as you
can afford.

It's hard to tell the difference between goosegrass and late-germinating
crabgrass.
But if you treat your turf with Chipco RONSTAR* G
herbicide, it makes no difference.
RONSTAR gives excellent control of both, season-long...
and it's convenient to use, because there's no leaching problem, no root pruning, and no problems with ornamental
plantings.
So, for the best control of grassy
weeds, use RONSTAR. RhonePoulenc Inc., Agrochemical

Cumberland Valley Turf

Dr. Roy L. Goss
In a previous issue of Northwest Turfgrass Topics we published information provided by Dr. Paul Sartoretto (W. A. Cleary
Corporation) with respect to chemical incompatibilities of
pesticides. He has established four general rules that should be
considered before tank mixing two or more pesticides.
1. Never tank mix emulsifiable insecticide concentrates.
2. Mix only one soluble chemical such as emulsifiable concentrates, solubles or soluble powder formulations with any
number of insolubles such as wettable powders and flowable
formulations.
3. When mixing two soluble chemicals with or without insolubles, the rate of each soluble should be halved to avoid
phytotoxicity. If three solubles are tank mixed, the dosage of
each soluble chemical should be reduced to one-third the
recommended rate.
4. Soluble fertilizers and trace elements can be added individually or mixed provided the amount will not exceed one
oz. solid material per gallon of tank spray mix.
In order to determine tank mix compatibility you should test
the compatibility of a tank mix yourself. Two steps are important as follows: Step 1 involves placing a mixture of the precise
dosage of pesticide plus the proper volume of water in a quart
glass jar for 30 minutes. If the chemical separates or settle out
it is not wise to use the mixture. Regardless of the results in
step 1, step 2 should be carried out if the material is at all
sprayable. In step 2 the mixture is applied to a turfgrass area,
preferably during adverse conditions such as heat and moisture
stress and overlapped to determine phytotoxicity. A minimum
^of 48 hours should elapse before the response can be properly
bvaluated. According to Miller and Wilkenson, 1980, the order
'of mixing pesticides of different formulations is as follows: Wettable powders first, flowables second, solubles third, powders
fourth, surfactants fifth, emulsifiable concentrates last. Always
remember that pesticides should be placed into a tank that has
been filled with water and with the agitator running.

In the last few years consumers have shown a tremendous
interest in the new lower growing finer textured darker colored
tall fescue varieties. Falcon, Olympic and Rebel were the first
varieties of turf type tall fescues to call on the market. Other
new varieties such as Adventure, Jaguar, and Finelawn I followed. All of these new varieties appear to have considerable or
better heat and drought tolerance than Kentucky 31, and are
better turf forming varieties.
A surprising feature of the new tall fescues is their ability
to perform as well or better in the shade than other cool season
grasses. In a shade environment, tall fescues tend to develop
finer leaf texture and maintain density. In our trials (Hubbard,
Oregon) and in trial results coming in from around the country, Olympic appears to have an edge in shade tolerance over
other varieties. Olympic is also performing extremely well in
demonstration lawns put out in cooperation with the Texas A
& M Extension Service in Dallas, Texas.
